<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CB4AllStar @ Aug 9 2006, 09:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Mo is going to be moved to Small Forward next year. He can do it. Thats where he played when Vince was here. We need him there because Joey Graham isnt ready to start. That leaves Jones in for significant minutes because his only backup is Anthony Parker.</div>Oh, okay. Didnt know that. So this is the lineup? PG FordSG JonesSF Mo PetePF BoshC Nesterovic
Yeah, thats what it will probably look like, although some Raptor fans are saying that Parker should start ahead of Jones
To tell you the truth, that backcourt will be murdered defensively because of their height. Ford is like 5'10, 5'11 at best, while Jones is 6'2 at the SG position. Jones isnt bad on defense, but guys that are 4 or 5 inches taller than him will take advantage of him because of his height.
Well, Ford is listed ar 6"0. I already know he is a poor defender. Jones is only 6"2, but a good defender, so I am not too worried about him. I know there will be some nights, say when he is guarding Kobe he will get lit up, but hey, whats new?
Delonte West - If West is moved to shooting guard because of the addition of Sebastian Telfair I can see Delonte making some noise next year in the Eastern Conference. His natural position is sg and with Sebestian Telfair, a great passing point guard, Delonte will have to worry less about creating and controlling the offense and more about scoring, getting to the rim, and just putting up points.Brandon Roy, Rashad McCants, Ben Gordon, Donta Smith, and Von Wafer are a couple more who I think have great potential and can be big name players in the league in the future.
Donta Smith and Von Wafer? Are you kidding me? They arent going to do anything. It's a disgrace to list those guys with the top up and coming SGs.And oh yeah, I would count Delonte as a PG. He will be playing some SG next year, but his main position is at the point.

Come on man. They are total scrubs now. It's not like they will turn into great up and coming SGs. That is just rediculous.
Scrubs...lmao...do you know the definition of a scrub. Donta Smith is still 20..learn your NBA before bashing on them as scrubs. Donta Smith is younger than any player out of the 2006 Draft Class and has a ton of potential as does Von Wafer who shined in the summer league and playing on a team who needs a pg/sg,combo guard, he could blossom.
Yeah, and Donta Smith also played in 23 games for 6 minutes a game, and for about 1.5 ppg a night. I dont know your definition of a scrub, but he sure seems like a scrub to me. I dont care about age. Were people not calling Darko a scrub when he was 20 with the Pistons?
